Staying up to date with coursework assures I offer state of the art BodyMind Spirit Healthcare. Except. I'm really just following my own medicine. Which is what Elders do.

Of more than 70 BodyTalk Trainings attended, I took over 40 with BodyTalk founder Dr. John Veltheim, six of those in person. I maintained my status as a Certified BodyTalk Practitioner from April 2008 to April 2024. Since the founder's death in November of 2022 the system has lost it's cutting edge of innovation, Though still effective, there's simply less reason to maintain membership. .

Until the pandemic and the exciting opportunity to take classes from a wider variety of instructors via Zoom, most of my Ortho-Bionomy® coursework had been completed with first-generation instructors who studied with the founder, Dr. Arthur Lincoln Pauls (deceased). I studied Craniosacral Fascial Therapy with its founder, Dr. Barry Gillespie, and trained in life coaching with the founder of the coaching process, Thomas Leonard.

Here are a few specific trainings/activities:

2025
  • More Ortho-Bionomy®  refreshers and tune ups with Jessica Marks
  • Ancestorial and Family Expression. Draws on BodyTalk. Todd and Angela Atkins.

2024
  • Ortho-Bionomy®
    • Intro to Visceral -- Heart, Lungs, and Kidneys. Jessica Marks
  • Your Life Force Antenna: The Amazing Spine.. Draws on BodyTalk. Todd and Angela Atkins.
  • Madrona training and initiation (draws on Druid tradition). Jo Flagg.
  • This has been a year of letting go: I let go my training with Kay Whitaker of Ka Ta See path. I let go my 12 year Practitioner-level membership with the BodyTalk association. Not feeling very masterful, I am letting go of my Master Gardener designation.
